Reminders

Please note that your school uses a biomass boiler and we are unable to display this energy usage on Energy Sparks. We are displaying the data for the school's two gas meters. The gas is a back-up if the biomass boiler isn't working or is running low on pellets. The school switches off the biomass boiler at the end of April and the school uses the mains gas supply to heat the school's hot water during the warmer months as it is more efficient than using the biomass boiler. Please note that your gas data has stopped for the Sixth Form gas meter on 31/08/24 and we are working with your supplier to restore access to the data.

Last year you used 30,000 kWh of gas and 12,000 kWh of electricity in the Xmas 2023 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £4,000 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 34 kW in the winter to 21 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £3,800 annually.
